nlaad Hi There - Can you please try installing from an in-place upgrade using an ISO? Using ISOs - Windows Insider Program | Microsoft Learn and then reconfirming your Insider settings are set to the Beta Channel?
- Can i download release preview or it is compulsory to download beta channel? because currently i am in beta channel.
- You are currently on the latest build. That's why update failed.
- so many builds came after oct 2023...this is not a latest beta channel build

- It might be worth trying an in-place upgrade/repair. Download the Windows 10 media creator and create a Windows 10 ISO. Mount the ISO in Windows and run the Setup.exe. With any luck, it'll update/repair all your Windows files while leaving your files intact.
- Have you fixed it?
- no

- Windows updates require sufficient space to download and install. Ensure you have enough free disk space on your system drive (usually C:).
- Clear the Windows Update cache: Press Windows key + R, type "services.msc" and press Enter. In the Services window, scroll down to "Windows Update", right-click on it and select "Stop". Then, go to C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download and delete all the files and folders inside. Return to the Services window, right-click on "Windows Update" again and select "Start".
- Thanks. This worked for me!
